News about Andrew McCutchen

We've arrived halfway through the 2023 Major League Baseball season, and the old rules haven't been followed. The Cardinals and Padres are a mess, the Marlins and Orioles are raging into the playoffs, and anyone who made a pre-season forecast of the Mets or Yankees is rubbing their eyes in disbelief. Two and a half months remain for teams to sort themselves out for the pennant chase, and as the regular season hits pause and MLB heads to Seattle for the All-Star Break, Mail Sport grades all 30 teams on their 2023 campaign so far:

A game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Diego Padres was postponed for 45 minutes due to poor air quality exacerbated by lingering smoke from wildfires in Canada. The game was scheduled to start at 12:35 p.m. until 12:35 p.m., so it was delayed to a 1:20 p.m. start. The Pirates released a statement announcing that they will continue to investigate weather conditions and the air quality index during the delay. After hitting a single in the first inning, the lights at hazy PNC Park were turned on, and Pirates star Andrew McCutchen put on a face mask to run the bases. Hundreds of thousands of fans, including many children, attended the afternoon game.

Andrew McCutchen, the former National League MVP, is back to the Pittsburgh Pirates, where the 36-year-old outfielder had his best seasons from 2009 to 2017. The specifics of the agreement have yet to be announced, but he still has to pass a physical before the team can announce the contract publicly. McCutchen, a five-time All-Star, has just 52 hits shy of 2,000 for his career, and 13 home runs shy of 300. In 2022, he reached his 1,000-RBI as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Montpellier were forced into a turnover in the 51st minute, with goalie Mbappe delivering it back to Mbappe and then getting it back to Mbappe, playing in a deflected cross for Neymar, bringing his hands to his face and closing his eyes, as the Morrocan played it right back to Mbappe.
